Description
The design originally consisted of a Tree of Life flanked by paired ibexes being pursued by a royal hunter. The latter, mounted on a fantastic creature, wears a Sasanian crown and holds a long spear. The fragment preserves most of the design to the right of the central tree, but only half of an ibex to the left of the tree.- ?-1982(Spink & Son, Ltd., London, UK, sold to the Cleveland Museum of Art)1982-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
